3M Flexible Polishing Papers

'Finishing fabric' conforms to any surface. Strong micro-grit papers so flexible you can use them like cloth, wet or dry!

Because they conform to any surface shape, they're great for polishing contoured guitar finishes, frets, plastic pickguards, pearl inlays and more. The first samples we received were jealously hoarded in our shops, quickly becoming favorites for polishing nuts and saddles, and for touchups in lacquer finishes.

"Indispensable for polishing bone and pearl nuts. They leave a gorgeous luster with no dark residue in porous bone."—Don MacRostie, Red Diamond Mandolins

Each sheet is coated on one side with micron-graded particles of aluminum oxide (1200-8000 grit) or silicon carbide (400-600 grit), on an extremely flexible non-woven .007" synthetic backing.

Works good, lasts a long time

I do french polished shellac, and this works well with shellac, brushes off or washes off well. I'm amazed at how long this stuff lasts. I only use the 3 coarsest colors, the others are too fine for my work.

Excellent!

I fabricated a brass nut- hacksaw, rough file, smooth file, 320, 400, 600 grades of sandpaper. It looked pretty nice. Then I started polishing with my set of these papers. Astounding- they should label them "shiny" through "ridiculously shiny"! I started laughing out loud as I got to the last three- I didn't think the brass could get any smoother- I was wrong. I'm impressed.

Handy little polishing paper

Because i am on a tight budget, I bought these as a cheaper way of polishing frets. It works faster than you would think to go thru all the papers. My frets shine and are so smooth with little effort. Cut them into little squares and they will last for ever.

Nice papers

I use these papers mostly for polishing nuts. It works fantastically and quick. Just start with the green and work up through the grits for a high polish. I wish the grit size was marked somewhere on the papers but I keep them in order of grit size which helps me keep up with them. They are a bit pricey and the lower grits wear out quickly. Go ahead and buy extra of the 400 and 600.
